"All About Color" by Carol Iglesias

The Workhouse Arts Center presents the exhibition "All About Color" by Carol Iglesias, from May 11- June 5 in Building W-4. The artist's extreme use of color in her paintings led her to this obvious title for her show. For the first time in about five years, Carol will be showing some large work in oil, in addition to her recognized pastel paintings. Her extensive love of travel inspires her and provides the subject matter for much of her work, which she describes as "An Abstract/Impressionist Style In Vibrant Colors." Throughout her career, she has painted in many locations in Europe, including Provence and Tuscany, as well as many sites in the Caribbean and the United States. She has shown her pastel paintings in over thirty exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout Virginia, Maryland, D.C., South Carolina, Iowa, Puerto Rico and Washington, as well as, participated in shows which have traveled around the U.S.
